If you can can find a way to knock over the sugar industry, please tell me. It’s a malefactor, but no one can afford to spend the political capital it would take to break their price supports.

US tariffs on sugar imports mean that we pay twice the world market price for sugar. Sugar is a raw material used to make other products. It is counterproductive and just plain dumb to put tariffs on raw materials but not on the finished products that are made with that same raw material in another country. All that does is kill off the domestic businesses that use sugar as a raw material.
